There were more people at lunch, so the long table in the dining room couldn't fit all of them.
Xia Ruofei and Ye Lingyun moved the long table to the side, and then went to the garage to move the round table that the landlord had left as a spare. Naturally, there weren't enough dining chairs, so all the plastic stools and folding chairs at home were used.
The dining environment was a bit simple, but Ma Xiong and the others didn't care at all. Everyone sat around and began to eat.
The dishes were all home-cooked.
There was fish head tofu soup, braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried spinach … Boss Lin Lin had almost a dozen dishes in total, and most of the ingredients were from the Ring-Tu space.
The dishes were all ordinary dishes, and Huzi's mother's cooking skills were naturally not as good as the top chef hired by the Ma family. However, because of the ingredients, Ma Xiong ate to his heart's content.
Professor Tian, Ma Zhiming, and the others who had tasted Taoyuan vegetables before were even more so. Even Lu You didn't care about her image and ate heartily.
After eating, Ma Xiong was even more determined to cooperate with Xia Ruofei.
At first, he had the intention of helping Xia Ruofei. After all, if these ingredients could enter Michelin-starred restaurants and five-star hotels around the world, the brand image of the Taoyuan Company would be greatly improved.
However, after tasting the Taoyuan ingredients, Ma Xiong felt that such ingredients were fully qualified to enter the catering enterprises of Hengfeng. He even thought that in time, the ingredients of the Taoyuan Company would definitely become the target of the catering giants.
In this sense, Hengfeng had seized the opportunity.
After lunch, Ma Xiong, Professor Tian, and the others said goodbye and left. Little Huanhuan was naturally reluctant to part with them. When she heard Tian Huixin say that she could see Xia Ruofei again tomorrow and that Xia Ruofei would go with them to Shen City, Huanhuan's mood was slightly better.
After sending Ma Xiong and the others away, Xia Ruofei began to arrange things for his departure.
First of all, she contacted Xijiang Moon Clubhouse and Ling's Restaurant and asked them to send cars to transport all the vegetables that would be supplied in the next few days.
After that, Xia Ruofei gave Cao Tieshu a call. Previously, they had planned to start transplanting the vegetable seedlings on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Although Cao Tieshu's wife was recuperating, Xia Ruofei still entrusted this matter to Cao Tieshu. However, he also repeatedly reminded Cao Tieshu not to come over on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Xia Ruofei also called Pang Hao and asked him to come to the farm on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year to help keep an eye on the farm.
Ye Linyun was responsible for the safety of the entire farm, and Lightning was also there. Xia Ruofei was very relieved. He only gave a few simple instructions to Ye Linyun, and then left him a few thousand yuan in cash in case of an emergency.
The online Taoyuan Succulent House had already put up a notice of suspension of business before the Lunar New Year, so Xia Ruofei did not need to care about this. However, he still used the evening to enter the Ring-Tu space and cut the almost recovered succulent seedlings again. When he returned from Shen Cheng City, these seedlings could be sold.
Early the next morning, Xia Ruofei carried a small suitcase and said goodbye to Huzi's mother and others. He got into a Mercedes-Benz car sent by Hengfeng Group's Sanshan office and went straight to Sanshan International Airport.
He still used the private jet's special passage. After a symbolic security check, Xia Ruofei was led into the restricted area by the airport's VIP customer service. Ma Xiong's family had just arrived at the airport.
What made Xia Ruofei slightly surprised was that, in addition to Ma Xiong's family, he also saw Lu You.
Today, Lu You was wearing a long black double-breasted coat with a white shirt inside. Pencil gray skinny jeans accentuated her tall figure and long thin legs. She was wearing a pair of big sunglasses, and her hands were in the coat pockets. She still had a cool expression on her face.
Xia Ruofei was only stunned for a moment, but he immediately recovered. It seemed that Lu You had nothing to do during the winter vacation, so she followed Tian Huixin and the others to Shen Cheng City to relax.
He greeted Ma Xiong and the others, and also nodded to Lu You with a smile.
For a super-rich person like Ma Xiong, even if he returned to the mainland, he still had to deal with various affairs every day. His schedule was also very tight.
Compared to civil flights, private jets were naturally more comfortable. For business people, there was another point that was very important, and that was efficiency.
This kind of business jet could apply for the flight route in advance, and basically, the take-off time could be accurate to the minute. The passengers only needed to arrive on time. There was no need to go to the airport at least an hour in advance to change the boarding pass and board the plane half an hour in advance. Then, they might have to sit on the plane and wait for all kinds of things.
For high-end business people, time was extremely precious.
Xia Ruofei and the others came to the luxuriously decorated VIP lounge. After a few words of greeting, they directly boarded the plane.
It was still the Gulfstream G650, which was also the latest model of Gulfstream's business jet. It was definitely the top existence among the medium-sized jet business jets.
Although Xia Ruofei had experienced it once last time, the luxury of this custom-made Gulfstream G650 still shocked Xia Ruofei.
Not long after everyone boarded the plane, the plane was allowed to take off. After taxiing on the runway of the Sanshan International Airport for a while, the Gulfstream plane lightly rose into the sky and went straight into the cloudless blue sky.
Tian Huixin and Lu You took Huanhuan to sit near the tail of the plane, while Ma Xiong, his son, and Xia Ruofei sat in the middle of the cabin. The three people sat on the wide and soft handmade leather seats, drinking coffee and talking about work.
From Sanshan to Shenzhen, it took about one and a half hours for a civil flight, but the Gulfstream business jet only took a little more than an hour.
In this hour, Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong finalized a lot of cooperation details.
The supply was set to be in a month. At that time, Taoyuan Farm would definitely have full production.
Every day, the Taoyuan Company would provide 100 kilograms of various vegetables to Hengfeng Group. The price was calculated at 15 times the average market price of the day. The Sanshan office of Hengfeng Group would send cars to Taoyuan Farm every three days to transport the vegetables to their special cold storage. Then, relying on their developed own logistics channels, they would air transport the vegetables to restaurants and hotels all over the world according to the ration.
Xia Ruofei roughly estimated that the cooperation with Hengfeng Group could bring at least 500,000 yuan to the Taoyuan Company every month. Considering the extremely low cost of all kinds, the net profit per month was estimated to be more than 400,000 yuan.
Of course, for a super-rich person like Ma Xiong, such a small business couldn't enter his eyes at all. He valued the future in-depth cooperation more.
Therefore, the two sides also agreed that after Taoyuan Farm expanded and increased production in the future, they would increase the supply accordingly. At the same time, Ma Xiong also specifically proposed that in the future, when Taoyuan Farm developed new top-level ingredients, they should also give priority to cooperation with Hengfeng Group.
Xia Ruofei naturally wanted to cooperate with Ma Xiong, one of the world's top tycoons, so he agreed almost without much consideration.
Ma Xiong's business secretary quickly printed the memorandum of this discussion through the automatic office system on the plane for both parties to sign. The formal contract was naturally to be signed after this trip to Shen City — there were still many details that needed to be finalized by both parties.
Of course, Ma Xiong naturally wouldn't participate in the following matters. There was a professional team to handle this matter. He could participate in the meeting in person, mostly because of Xia Ruofei's face. Otherwise, for such a cooperation of such a scale, any small manager in the numerous subsidiaries of Hengfeng Group could make the decision.
The discussion at an altitude of 10,000 meters ended in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. At this time, the Gulfstream business jet slowly descended. Outside the porthole, they could already see the rows of high-rise buildings in Shen City.
